Its fine to visit. But if you are not a BIB, and need to network
for a job in this town, stay far far away.
Sure they are friendly if think going to get some of your spending
money, but don't think they will be friendly if think someone if
going to move here and take jobs from there kind.
I do fine here since don't work and just moved here because
convenient to basic stores I needed. Anything else I go to
Houston or College station.
It is a very clickish town that seems to worship that ice cream, HEB
brand is better.
So if you have no need for locals or work, its an ok place to live.
They have a saying about something smelling LOL That is the way
BIBS think.

Lots of druggies here, very few jobs and what jobs there are are very low paying. Very "clannish" and you have to know someone from here to get along. This community is very small minded, unfriendly to outsiders and very backward. I was told that before I moved here and chose not to listen to the advice. If allergies don't bother you where you live now they will if you move here. If you want to move to Texas DON"T MOVE HERE-go to Austin instead.

The climate in Brenham goes from one extreme to the other with little or no middle ground. It is either very hot and humied (90 degrees plus with 70% humidity) or very cold (35-40 degrees with 70% humidity). It doesn't rain as much as we would like it to but when it does it is glorious! You must grow a pair of gills to live here but we call it home and so do our happy Blue Bell Ice Cream cows!

It's an OK place to visit, esp. in the spring-very pretty. Anyone with allergies should stay away-all year. Town is also not stranger-friendly. They are very narrow-minded here. No good jobs either-they don't believe in paying a living wage even though they could afford to in many places. Too many rich people live in this area that have no common sense. They didn't earn their wealth-just inherited it. Rich and stupid is a bad combination! Do not move here!

The people are down to earth, friendly and the country is the most beautiful you will find in Texas. Rolling hills, beautiful views, outstanding cultural amenities, antique shops and lots of recreational opportunities, to name a few of it's attributes.
It is the "Birthplace of Texas". The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed by Sam Houston and the other framers of the constitution in Washington County near the famous Brazos River. Washington County began the first Independent School District in Texas!
Wonderful state parks including "Washington on the Brazos State Park and Museum" where visitors can see the history of the area and information about how it all began. "Washington on the Brazos" is a beautiful place for family gatherings and offers a great education for "old and young" visitors as well.
Lake Somerville is 15-20 minutes from Brenham and is surrounded by more than 6 parks for camping, fishing, water sports and just relaxing.
The area has so much more to offer..... and it's the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream!!! Y'all Come!
